Diamond Ring

Not every diamond ring is an engagement ring. Diamond engagement rings usually consist of a larger single diamond in the centre of the ring. These types of diamond engagement rings are called solitaire rings.  

When you are choosing a diamond ring, you need to be sure that the ring has a well made setting in a high quality precious metal such as a high carat gold or platinum. This will ensure that the ring is strong enough to hold the precious stone. While 24 carat is considered to be pure gold weight, it is too soft to hold fine gems like diamonds.

In addition to looking at the setting, which is the metal ring in which the diamond will be set, you should also be sure of the quality of the diamond. A one carat diamond is large and considered standard for diamond engagement rings. You can go smaller, if this is what your budget allows or you can have more than one gem in the diamond ring itself. Sapphires can make a nice accompaniment to the main diamond.

When choosing a diamond ring, especially something as special as diamond engagement ring, it pays to find a jeweler you can trust. Look for one that has been in business for a long period of time and has a solid reputation.
